Theater on the Lake: The Chicago Summer Theater Festival presents 8 plays in 8 weeks, showcasing a strong cross section of Chicago's rich off-Loop theater community. Theater Oobleck presents There Is a Happiness That Morning Is by Mickle Maher; Ensemble directed. This comedy in rhymed verse unfolds via two lectures on the poetry of William Blake: one given by a middle-aged, barely published poet of scant scholarship, on the Songs of Innocence, and the other by his lover, a reputable Ph.D., on the Songs of Experience. Having just engaged in a highly inappropriate public display of affection, the two undergraduate lecturers must now, in class, either apologize for their behavior or justify it if they want to keep their jobs.
